  Or you follow the python ethos and when it matters, you profile the code, and rewrite only the modules that need it in a lower level language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s plenty of cybersecurity nerds on Mastodon, I recommend cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog for quality research and equal amounts of shit posting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could a diffusion image model be used to "bake" slow operations like erosion to make them realtime?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The current leader in this space that we use in the film industry (also heavily in games) is Gaea quadspinner.com it’s a node based erosion engine that lets you start with any height field, GIS, something you’ve sculpted, or even just a few shapes mashed together.

  It’s waaaay beyond just layering a few noises together and is so much fun to use. Designed to be procedural, but also art directable, as we have to match artwork and reference of real world locations.

  There’s probably some of the nodes that would benefit from being encoded in a ML framework, but not a single step to do it all.

  When you pay that much for hair plugs, you don’t shave it all off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you change your towels?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.

  We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.

  Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't tall people also wider?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fairly tall, 6’2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don’t realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it’s a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a place you can gamble on if it rains tomorrow?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask an Australian, they’ll take a bet on anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the private equity bubble compare to the AI bubble if at all?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cloud compute was attractive to 3d rendering for a while, as you could put your non urgent renders on the cloud at the lowest priority and take advantage of off peak pricing. Now model training demand has wiped out off peak pricing and forced the cloud rendering cost way higher than rendering locally.

  May the bridges you burn light your way through the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can mental health medication change nature of dreams?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I pretty much stopped remembering my dreams after some serious surgery when I was younger. I put it down to the 12+ hours of anesthetic. I occasionally remember that I had dreamt when I wake up in a weird mood. But no idea what the dream was about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Keeping people in unproductive jobs isn’t an excuse to keep a drain on the the system and bloating costs of health care.

  What do they do in other countries that don’t have those roles? They find jobs elsewhere or train in something else. Of course you wouldn’t be able to reform healthcare overnight, it would take a decade or a generation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did they stop throwing dildos at the WNBA?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the Western New Brunswick Archery championships?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Think about all the people involved in health care that aren’t involved in actually providing healthcare. Billing, debt collection, assessing insurance claims, denying claims, legal fighting over denied claims, advertising etc.

  All that money is better spent providing healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also stable companies with a solid revenue stream that don’t have much growth potential, so pay out the profits as dividends. These are more in demand for retirement funds or individuals who get to point in life they need to start living from their investments. Yield is always a calculation of dividend + growth.

  Tech companies that don’t pay a dividend and reinvest everything into growth is a relatively new concept

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It gets stored elsewhere if you continue to consume more than you use, like the fat cells deeper in your abdomen where it’s much more dangerous to the health of your organs
